Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HN32-0KH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC and still delivers 121 kA at 415 V, which puts it in the high-interrupting tier for industrial panel feeders and large motor branch circuits. The frame itself is rated for 756 A maximum, so this 63 A trip unit sits well within the frame's structural capacity.

The 63 A continuous rating is flat from 40 °C to 70 °C, so you don't have to oversize for a hot panel — that's a real advantage when the enclosure sits near a furnace line or in a non-conditioned electrical room. The 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V tell you this breaker can handle high available fault current without cascading upstream; it's sized for main or large subfeed duty where the transformer is close. At 690 V the breaking capacity drops to 3.7 kA, so it's not a 690 V main breaker — keep it on the 240–500 V range where it earns its keep.

Dimensions are 86 mm deep, 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits DIN-rail or direct-mount panel layouts common in industrial switchboards.

Communication function is not built in; this is a standalone breaker without integrated fieldbus or Ethernet. Power loss is 4 W maximum, negligible for panel thermal budgeting.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2163-5HN32-0KH0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What are the key ratings for 3VA2163-5HN32-0KH0?

63 A continuous current (flat from 40 °C to 70 °C), 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V. Three-pole, line-protection design with shunt trip and two auxiliary switches plus trip alarm.

Will 3VA2163-5HN32-0KH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same frame class, so the footprint (86 x 105 x 181 mm) and DIN-rail mounting are identical. The 3VA2163-5HN32-0KH0 carries a 63 A trip unit versus the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0's lower rating, and the auxiliary switch configuration differs — verify the shunt trip and aux contact count match your control wiring before swapping.
